Clean Up; Leaving The Boat Checklist - Bayliner 4788 Operation Manual

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner
A tool kit is located under the salon settee cushion and another larger orange tool box is kept in the engine room
access area. The tool box in the engine room has a variety of small screws, and misc hardware that can be
useful for simple repairs.

11 Clean up

Rinse salt off the boat ASAP. It eats into the fiberglass, metal and glass in a very short period of time.
Leave yourself plenty of time every trip to wash the boat. Try to return in time to clean it in the daylight. A
wash hose is under the starboard lazarette in the cockpit, buckets are in there too along with cleaning supplies.
You can arrange for a cleaning service before you leave for your cruise and they will do the cleaning for you.
Try to get into the corners of things. If everyone tries to clean one extra area after each trip the positive
momentum will be a marvel and we all will benefit.
To wash the boat its best to start on the bridge and get its canopy and outside plus the dinghy at the same time,
then all the foredeck, each side deck and the aft deck with the transom---a total of 5 sections. While one person
scrubs another can rinse and please rinse the salt off the sides of the hull. A soft brush works best for smooth
fiberglass and a hard bristle brush for non-skid surface. Do not use abrasive on fiberglass.
Pay special attention to:
Removal of diesel soot from transom and from around the diesel furnace exhaust.
Removal of black streaks from hull.
Scuff marks removed from hull (usually made from brushing docks or from dragging hoses or cables on the top
deck)
Windows cleaned with squeegee, water and a couple drops of liquid dish soap.
